Effect of net foreign assets on persistency of time-varying risk premium: Evidence from the Dollar-Yen exchange rate

Author

Abstract

In this paper, I focus on the time-varying and persistent exchange rate risk premiums in uncovered interest rate parity associated with changes in net foreign assets. The results of my analyses of the Dollar-Yen exchange rate provide evidence consistent with my risk premium formulation and the predictability of current account balances. I contend that the strong persistent effect causes nominal exchange rates to appear non-stationary in level. I also argue that the present value model of the level of exchange rates combined with the AR(1) approximation for interest rate differentials can reconcile a failure of uncovered interest rate parity.
